This is a good view of Swan hunter and Wigham Richardson's Wallsend yard. The Ottawa was built in 1964 and this photo shows her on the ways. There is a video of two of these cranes being demolished in 2010 on youtube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZaya3ACAUw&feature=player_de...

Don't want to seem pedantic, but these ships are under construction on the ways (i.e. the slipways on which they are built above the water line prior to being launched and fitted out afloat). They are not in dock which suggests that they are either afloat in dock or in a drydock.

The red painted vessel on the left in this picture is probably the Type 12 Frigate HMS FALMOUTH YN1187. Regards Dave

Difficult to tell without a date and with the foreshortened view. That looks like Vickers. The Glamorgan was built there and launched in 1964. The slope of the main deck down to the poop looks like a County although proportions are not easy to judge.

That is the Walker Yard slip way.

The Titan was a floating crane. Shipped out to India with some of the yard swan neck cranes and the floating dock in May 2009. There is a very sad video showing the heavy lift ship Osprey leaving the Tyne with the Titan on board at www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GJsiDLIG9g.
